If they call you a racist for voting against Obama…

Try the following one-sentence responses.

(1) “I am following Martin Luther King’s instructions to focus on the content of a person’s character as opposed to the color of his skin.”

(2) “If you offer me a sack of week-old garbage, the last thing on my mind is the color of the sack.”

  1. THE OBAMA REPORT

    Doesn’t Obama Stand for Change?

    While repeating the words “Hope” and “Change” in campaign speeches might be an nice rhetorical trick, one needs to examine what it really means. Hitler and Lenin where both dynamic speakers and spoke of change in their speeches, but the 60 million people who died due to their utopistic dreams probably would not agree that “change” was a good thing. World history is replete with utopians who promised “change” and instead brought us great misery. Using words like Change and Hope and being a good orator has nothing to do with a person’s actual track record; all voters need to put aside their emotions and find out what a candidate’s actual track record is.

    The arrogance shown by Obama should give one pause. Anytime one believes they’re the “anointed one” and indeed, “God-like,” be forewarned. All the great despots in history shared this arrogance. When talk show host Chris Matthews referred to the Obama effort as something that should be part of the “New Testament,” and that he was “delivered to us,” and Jesse Jackson Jr. says “another chapter could be added to the Bible to chronicle its significance,” its time to become alarmed. Obama himself clearly believes he is something divine-like. Here’s one such statement:

    “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for; We are the change that we seek.”

    Or how about this incredibly arrogant statement:

    A light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany … and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Obama.

    This is the “2nd coming of the Messiah” attitude which has led so many leaders throughout history to think they know what’s best for the unwashed masses and which encouraged them to embark on authoritarianism. It is this Messiah complex that will lead a President Obama to radically transform our culture and government in order to fulfill some preconceived utopian “vision” that will no doubt lead to a trampling of our constitutional rights.

    His campaign even had the audacity to alter the great seal one sees on our currency and transform it into a campaign seal, minus the American flag, AS IF HE IS WHAT AMERICA IS ALL ABOUT. Indeed, a whole website has been created to catalog the Messiah-like statements of the Obama campaign.

  6. Don’t know about your voting place but where I am from, no one knows whom I vote for when I vote. And no one knows whom I plan to vote for unless (1) I tell them, (2)I put up lawn signs.

  7. When you study Chagigah 14a, you shudder at Obama.

    Comment by Mary Hogan — November 3, 2008 @ 6:59 pm


  8. Obama believes that people who defend themselves against intruders with a banned handgun should be prosecuted for violating local handgun bans.

    That is his character.

  9. Doesn’t Obama Stand for Change?

    Comment by yamit82 — November 3, 2008 @ 3:39 pm

    Absolutely!

    I haven’t seen such changing since the days of John “Flipper” Kerry.

    Subject: Re: The Reasons to Vote for McCain

    …It’s about you and your angry, negative comments. It has nothing to do with the merits of Mccain (which you rarely mention) but of the hatred you feel for Obama. I realize you feel that there is evidence that he is against Jews and that is your choice to believe that, but your personal comments and choice of emails has a very racist undertone. I think you should examine that because it is very ugly. Just as you strive for Jewish people to not be discriminated against, other minorities should have that same equality.

    My response:

    I’m not in love with McCain. That’s why I don’t sing his praises much. But McCain is known.

    I don’t hate Obama. I fear Obama because of his history and odious associations. Obama made choices, choices of a racist church, of the terrorist Ayers, of anti-Semite Khalidi, Pfleger, al-Mansour, Rezko, etc. Any other candidate who made these same choices would have been disqualified before he or she even started.

    It’s not hatred or racism, it’s fear. Fear that a person who made his career with the help of such anti-Americans and anti-Semites could (and likely will) be President. Is it ugly to have such concern for my country , for Israel and for the well-being of America (in all her colors) and Jews? I think not. Maybe it’s ugly to reflexively paint anybody who disagrees with Obama or his supporters as racist.

    I don’t think he is against Jews either. I think he is more sympathetic to the enemies of the Jews (and America) than he ought to be or is wise for our security. If you are not uncomfortable from this, that is your right to your perspective.

    Subtract the charisma and the magic. What has he done? What do you know about him? Where does he come from?

    If Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden had the same history as Obama, do you think he or she would have gotten away with it?

    Not on your life - and you know it.

  11. # 10 good comment

  12. If you think Obama’s character is bad, think of the countless people voting for him today! I guess we should be preparing for a lot more Jewish people to get beaten up and murdered as a result of all these voters who lack content of character.

    No, people WILL vote for Obama on the color of his skin instead of the content of his ‘character’, which is the complete opposite of FAT ALBERT! I agree with Arnold!

  13. I voted this morning. There was already a line at 7:00 A.M., when the polls opened and I waited thirty minutes. (i live in a solidly Democratic precinct.)

    There was a longer wait than there was four years ago. (As Christopher Morton pointed out, Democrats did not like John Kerry that much. .) The Democrats nominated a candidate that most of them actually like

    No, people WILL vote for Obama on the color of his skin instead of the content of his ‘character’, which is the complete opposite of FAT ALBERT! I agree with Arnold!

    I agree. Two years ago, Michael Steele lost narrowly in the U.S. Senate race in Maryland (a state where Democrats have a ten-point registration advantage).

  14. The useless davidstill is a self-hating Jew who loves his enemies, the black panthers and the nation of islam, which that monster hussein obama represents.

    Yeah!

  16. All you naysayers and negative yappers who have been slandering Obama for so many months have been consigned to the ashheap of history. Levinson has just embarked on a very long, long cruise. We won’t be hearing from him for some time.And so it goes.

  17. The most significant part of Obama’s success is that it formalizes the parting with American values. The country no longer insists on its cultural identity. But societies are formed around cultural values and broken around their absence. The post-Obama America will be different from the previous one. After Obama, the discussion on illegal immigration loses its sense: with the alien president, America can as well admit tens of millions of aliens who swarm it like the barbarians encroached upon the Roman Empire. From the right of settlement to subsidies to ruling the country, modern barbarians are taking over the United States.

    Obama will not necessarily be anti-American or pro-Muslim. He’s the type familiar to Jews: a rootless person who despises his national and religious connections and would readily serve any strong master. We have plenty of such Jewish anti-Semites: Kissinger, Miller, Miliband,Peskin, davidstill etc. A very long list indeed!

    Let us just hope Obama does not consign the United States to the ash heap of history.
